A 10-15 minute LD penalty would likely make EQ unplayable on some nights for me. If the penalty only applied when a PC was actively under attack prior to zoning, it'd be workable. I've suggested on the discussion thread that programmers review the temporary IP ban and instead force an account to log directly into an active but LD character. LD characters can linger 30 seconds after PvP stops prior to poofing. Anyone who "legitimately" LDs during PvP might be able to relog in time to do something this way, and it wouldn't adversely affect people getting the occasional zone glitch.
